Just spent an hour with my mother-in-law at her palliative care residence.

While terribly sad to see her decline, it teaches me so much about who we are and how we consider the world before us.

She's terrified, stressed and confused. The information coming in from her eyes and ears takes a long time to make sense. And she's very unhappy.

Data --> Information --> Comprehension --> Emotional reaction. When any of those steps get compromised, we are unhappy.

We still have so much to learn.
